Chapter 422: Joint Action

After Lu Fan arrived in Ningyang County, he went directly to the Ningyang Hotel.

Room 303 was a small conference room. For the sake of confidentiality, County Party Secretary Yang Chuanbei placed the meeting location in the hotel.

After Lu Fan entered the room, Si Daiqiang stood up and said: "Mayor Lu, sit here! We just made a preliminary study of a plan..."

Lu Fan interrupted: "The matter is urgent, you make the decision, just assign the tasks directly, let's take action first, and then we can communicate."

Si Daiqiang said decisively: "Good, Chuanbei, Fangzhe, how much public security force can you mobilize?"

Yang Chuanbei replied: "The Public Security Bureau Director went to the provincial capital and arranged for a Deputy Director to mobilize manpower, but it's already ten o'clock, many police officers have drunk alcohol, or their phones can't be reached. This time, 40-plus police officers and auxiliary police have been contacted."

Si Daiqiang said: "I brought some people, let's move first. Use the existing manpower to investigate from the first street, and conduct a carpet search of all hotels, inns, foot baths, KTVs, and other places. Don't let go of any suspicious person, search all their equipment, catch them first, and then interrogate them immediately."

Lu Fan added: "The Public Security Bureau Director is not here, the Deputy Director doesn't know the situation, and he may not be able to hold the scene. Secretary Si, I suggest letting Liu Fangzhe go to the Public Security Bureau to preside over the action."

Si Daiqiang nodded and said to Political and Legal Committee Secretary Liu Fangzhe: "Fangzhe, then I'll trouble you to make a trip, pay attention to confidentiality measures."

Liu Fangzhe stood up immediately and said: "Then I'll go over, please rest assured, leaders, I guarantee to complete the task!"

Si Daiqiang continued to arrange: "Secretary Chuanbei, Xiaofeng, Yanfeng, Wang Fei, Shi Xin, you mobilize manpower and conduct investigations throughout the county. The key direction is the community, where grid workers know the situation best. If you find clues, you can control them first and hand them over to the Public Security Bureau for processing."

The five stood up immediately and quickly took action.

Lu Fan stopped Yang Chuanbei and exhorted: "Give a dead order to the secretaries of several street offices, this is a political task, you must go all out, and you must achieve results!"

Yang Chuanbei nodded heavily and said: "I will do my best to complete the task!"

After everyone left, Lu Fan asked: "Secretary Si, does Zhenbei have any results now?"

Si Daiqiang replied: "Just reported to me, more than 30 people have been caught, and the evidence is conclusive."

Lu Fan said: "Coming fiercely, it seems someone can't sit still, we must wipe them out! Has this been reported to Secretary Ruifang?"

A flash of hesitation flashed in Si Daiqiang's eyes, and he said: "The matter is urgent, I haven't had time to report it yet."

Lu Fan asked again: "Someone in Yingjiang is plotting, what about Yinzhou? What about Chang'an? And Dian? Have you reported to Secretary Wang?"

"Report now? Or interrogate first and then report?"

"The matter is of great importance, Yingjiang is just a corner, our pattern is small after all, I think it's better to let the Secretary know the truth as soon as possible, so as to make better decisions."

After Si Daiqiang considered it for a while, he dialed the old leader's phone.

After more than ten seconds, the call was connected, "Daiqiang, calling in the middle of the night, is everything okay?"

Si Daiqiang said worriedly: "Recently, some people of unknown origin came to Yingjiang, catching wind and shadows, fabricating facts. I suspect they want to pull and drag, shift the blame, and make waves... Ningyang has started to take action with Lu Fan's cooperation. Just now Lu Fan reminded me to pay attention to the trends in Yinzhou, Chang'an, and Dian."

After a few seconds of silence, he instructed: "Control the people, cut off contact with the outside world, so as to achieve the effect of beating the grass to scare the snake. Get the detailed evidence as soon as possible and send it to Yancheng. I will handle the rest."

Si Daiqiang said unusually firmly: "Please rest assured, Secretary, I will complete the task as quickly as possible."

Wang Hongtao said: "Discuss more with Lu Fan when things happen. He has climbed up from the grassroots, considers things more comprehensively, and has more methods. In addition, have you reported this to Comrade Ruifang?"

Si Daiqiang replied truthfully: "Back to Secretary, not yet."

Wang Hongtao frowned and said in a serious tone: "She is the Municipal Party Secretary, no organization, no discipline! Report immediately, and improve your overall situation awareness!"

Si Daiqiang hurriedly admitted his mistake and said: "Secretary, I know I was wrong, I will report it now!"

After hanging up, Si Daiqiang said tangledly: "The Secretary criticized me, complaining that I didn't report to Secretary Ruifang."

Lu Fan couldn't say anything, so he said: "Time is of the essence, it's better to call Secretary Ruifang as soon as possible!"

After thinking about it, Si Daiqiang dialed Li Ruifang's mobile number, and the call was connected after a while.

"Secretary, I have an important situation to report."

"You speak!"

Si Daiqiang reported: "In the afternoon, I received a report from the district saying that some ill-intentioned people came to Zhenbei District to make waves, attempting to be unfavorable to Secretary Hongtao. Because the situation was very urgent, I didn't have time to ask for instructions, so I took action in Zhenbei District on my own, and now I have gained quite a lot. Considering that similar situations might happen in Ningyang, I came to Ningyang with Lu Fan, and the action here has already started."

After hearing this, Li Ruifang tried to suppress her anger and asked as calmly as possible: "Lu Fan is there too?"

"Yes, we arrived in Ningyang one after another."

Li Ruifang asked again: "Then who is responsible for Zhenbei District now?"

Si Daiqiang replied: "It's District Chief Xiaojun."

Li Ruifang continued to ask: "Have you reported to Secretary Hongtao?"

Si Daiqiang replied: "Reported to the Secretary ten minutes ago. The leader instructed to control the people, cut off contact with the outside world, and requested to get conclusive evidence as soon as possible and send it to the capital."

Li Ruifang instructed: "Daiqiang, the matter is of great importance. You and Lu Fan sit in Ningyang, and I will go to Zhenbei District personally. You must strictly follow the Secretary's instructions, and at the same time, pay attention to one problem: all people participating in the action must have a high sense of confidentiality, and must not let the news leak out, so as not to cause adverse effects on society. This is iron discipline! In addition, listen more to Lu Fan's opinions when things happen, and we will keep in touch at any time."

After hanging up, Li Ruifang called Wu Xiaojun personally, and then put on her clothes and hurried to the city.

Lu Fan and Si Daiqiang paced back and forth in the room, looking serious.

Suddenly, Lu Fan's phone rang. After looking at the number, it was Wang Hongpeng, so he hurriedly answered.

"Mayor Lu, I'm here, and I've brought the troops. What is my task?"

Lu Fan looked at Si Daiqiang and said: "You are responsible for the second street!"

"Sure, I'm familiar with Ningyang, even if I dig three feet, I will find this group of scum!"

After hanging up, Lu Fan said: "Hongpeng is here!"

"Up from Ganshui?"

Lu Fan nodded and said: "The situation is special, Hongpeng's execution ability is not a problem, he has been working in the Ningyang public security system before, calling him here is twice the result with half the effort."

Si Daiqiang approved and said: "I didn't think of it for a while, look, Hongpeng is here, and the Municipal Public Security Bureau hasn't moved yet!"

Just as he finished speaking, Lu Fan's phone rang again, it was Municipal Public Security Bureau Director Ye Chen.

After Lu Fan answered, he said: "Where are you?"

"Just got off the highway."

"Wait a moment, I'll be there soon."

After hanging up, Lu Fan said seriously: "You sit here, coordinate, I'll go cooperate with Ye Chen, responsible for the investigation of various townships, the focus is Chuan Town."

Si Daiqiang reached out and said: "Thank you for your hard work!"

"It should be!"

The two shook hands heavily, and then Lu Fan turned and left, his steps firm and powerful.

Driving to the highway entrance, Lu Fan parked the car on the side of the road, got into Ye Chen's car, and before he could speak, he said: "Someone came to make 'black materials' on Secretary Hongtao, our task is to find them, you go and explain to everyone, go to various townships to take action, pay attention to confidentiality, let's go to Chuan Town."

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Ye Chen took action without saying a word, giving orders to the vehicles behind one by one.

Before long, more than twenty police cars drove in all directions, and Lu Fan and Ye Chen took two police cars to Chuan Town.

On the way, Ye Chen analyzed: "These people are not short of money, they should pretend to be tourists, reporters, I guess they will stay in hotels. If locals participate in the action, it will be difficult to handle."

Lu Fan said: "Catch as many as you can, as long as you can get evidence. Ye Chen, you must go all out, catch people and interrogate them immediately, don't have any scruples, even if you make a mistake, it doesn't matter."

Ye Chen nodded and said: "I know the importance, thank you!"

Twenty minutes later, three police cars arrived at the largest hotel in Chuan Town.

After entering, Ye Chen took the police officers straight to the front desk and said: "Public Security Bureau is catching wanted criminals, let me see your accommodation registration."

The cashier had never seen this battle, and pointed to the computer nervously: "It's the off-season, only six rooms were occupied tonight."

Ye Chen immediately instructed the police officers to go to each room, and went to room 1004 with Lu Fan.

After the waiter opened the door, the police rushed in immediately and started searching without saying a word.

Two men lived in the room, speaking with an out-of-town accent, shouting loudly: "What are you doing? Why are you searching?"

Ye Chen glared at the two coldly and ignored them.

Before long, the harvest came. Some equipment was found in their bags, and at a glance, it was not good stuff.

Ye Chen made a decisive decision and ordered his men to take the people, ignoring their protests at all.

Secretary Li Ruifang arrived at the Zhenbei District Committee, and District Chief Wu Xiaojun immediately reported the development of the action and the results.

Hearing that more than 60 people had been caught, Li Ruifang immediately gave an order to concentrate forces to tackle key problems, and must "pry" their mouths open in the shortest time, and can use some means if necessary.

At this time, Wang Hongtao was on the phone with Secretary Chen Deming, reporting the situation in Yingjiang.

After hearing this, Chen Deming said: "It is said that rumors stop at the wise, but now it is the era of self-media, information spreads rapidly and is difficult to control. It can't stand people with intentions to make use of the topic, add fuel to the fire, infinitely magnify rumors, and constantly elevate them. This thing can sometimes kill people invisibly. Hongtao, you absolutely cannot have any problems now. I will go to report to the leaders tomorrow morning. Have you obtained favorable evidence?"

Wang Hongtao replied: "It should be soon, I plan to go to the capital overnight. I can't be charging in the front while others are stabbing me in the back, right? Even a clay figure has three parts of temper, I can't let others manipulate me, at worst, we'll break the fish and the net!"

"Don't be impulsive, I'll communicate with Jiazhong and the others, let's discuss it when you come back!" ===== CHAPTER 423 =====
